The olive branch thrown by Neras Elam, who represents the Storm Kingdom, is-

The highest possible is to become the Grand Duke of the Race, with the name of independent founding. The last is also a marquis of the Storm Kingdom, a huge fiefdom, and 200,000 people.

This temptation is not insignificant.

But Orondo's response to Neras Elan was: "I'll think about it. If I really want to take refuge in any kingdom, I will definitely give priority to your country. ”

That's right, think about it.

Becoming a nobleman in other kingdoms did not prevent Orondo from developing in Dalaran. Unless he wanted to become Lord Dalaran and enter the Council of Six, Orondo could do whatever he wanted in the other kingdoms.

Although Dalaran is also a kingdom on the surface, this kingdom does not mind the nobles of other kingdoms being the bosses in its own territory, because the ruling class itself is basically composed of the descendants of human nobles and scholars.

From a practical point of view, if Lordaeron or the kingdoms of Riptide, Gilneth and Alterac had given such conditions, Orondo would probably have really agreed.

These kingdoms were very wealthy, and the worst kingdom of Alterac was much better than the kingdom of Storm in the south.

Don't look at the conditions given by Nalas Elam so superior, in fact, except for the title name and 200,000 lords are more practical, fiefs or anything are a fart!

There is a saying among the northern folk that "it is better to have one acre of land in East Wilder than a country in the south"!

Of course, this sentence has the factor that northern humans look down on southern humans, and it is a slight exaggeration. But it also shows that in this period, the storm kingdom in the south is really not good.

The current Storm Kingdom is not the center of human civilization that it was later, and as far as Orondo knows, the Storm Kingdom at this time can only shrink into a corner of the Elwyn Forest!

The development of the Storm Kingdom was only after Landon Ureon's son, King Baratheon, came to power and defeated the gnolls, and then began to occupy the entire Elwyn Forest, and then the kingdom developed greatly.

After years of development, King Baratheon had the strength of King Lydon and the orcs. Later, the undead natural disaster occurred in the north, and almost all the remaining human essence went south, so that King Varian had the confidence to become the supreme king. Later, when the stable human race reached its peak, Anduin dared to criticize Tyrande's immaturity at such a young age......

The human territory in the north is basically familiar, and if you go to the south to be a lord, you can really only survive by developing it yourself.

Sending the somewhat disappointed Neras Elam away, the night had fallen, and the ball held by the Lordaeron embassy should have begun.

The Magic Shop is not far from the Lordaeron Embassy, and it only takes ten minutes to walk there.

Instead of wearing a gown, Orondo changed into a brand new ordinary mage robe - in Dalaran, only mages are eligible to wear mage robes, which is a status symbol.

In Dalaran, as long as you can wear Dalaran's special mage robe and become a mage in the true sense, you can only use a few zero-level tricks and are not afraid of nobles.

Because here, the mage is the ruling class, the master here. The nobles from outside are just guests.

A low-level mage has a conflict with a country nobleman, and in Dalaran, the official will not hesitate to favor the low-level mage - of course, if the country nobleman is also a mage, then the low-level mage who is not a nobility will consider himself unlucky.

In Dalaran, all you need to do is have a mentor to go from a trainee apprentice to a mage apprentice. There are certain conditions for becoming a full-fledged mage from a mage apprentice.

If you want to become a full-fledged mage, you must first get the satisfaction of the instructor, and when the tutor thinks that the apprentice has passed the first requirement to become a full-fledged mage.

Then there are three ways for a mage apprentice to officially become a mage.

First, complete certain tasks issued by Dalaran, such as going to a certain place to kill a few xxx, or going to a certain place to get xxx back.

In a way, this method is relatively simple, but it is very dangerous.

The second method is to study or publish research in Kenrito that is approved by at least twenty or more mages—this is the path that Orondo has taken, although he has done it with great ease and spaciousness.

The last option is the easiest, but also the hardest. The requirement for this method is that there are people above, at least the archmage who has a lot of influence on Kenrito. The specific operation rules of this method are to enter the Kenrito High Arcane Academy!

Unlike Violet Academy, the High Arcane Academy has no mentor or student. If the Violet Academy is an elementary and junior high school, then the Higher Arcane Academy is a research institute. Being able to become a part of it will automatically grant you the status of an official mage.

To become a member of the High Arcane Academy, you need to have at least one letter of recommendation from a Kenrito member at the rank of Archmage or above, or the support of more than 10 members of the High Arcane Academy.

These three methods, in summary, are actually to become a full-fledged mage, to become a privileged mage in Dalaran, either you are very smart, or you are very rich (power).

Otherwise, even if you can cast fireballs, ice arrows, or even more advanced spells, you will only be considered a mage apprentice with Kenrito and will not be able to enjoy the full version of mage privileges, even if you are actually better than some of the people in the High Arcane Academy.

Dressed in a mage robe with Kenrito's insignia, Orondo walked down the road to the Lordaeron embassy alone.

It's only a few minutes away.

At the entrance of the embassy, Orondo handed over the invitation and was respectfully greeted by the Lordaeron guards.

When Orondo entered the embassy lobby, he saw that the party had already begun, and the melodious music inside was mixed with the voices of many people talking.

He slammed through the door in a low-key manner, without attracting anyone's attention.

According to the standards of the earth, the spacious hall of about 1,000 square meters is beautifully furnished.

Beneath the dome of the huge Lordaeron-style building, chandeliers are hung with chandeliers. Each chandelier is lit with large candles, which illuminates the whole dance very brightly.

This kind of candle is a magic candle specialty, which is smokeless, odorless, and has no residue, and does not need to be cleaned after burning. Only the families of the great nobles or the wealthy could afford to use such candles.

With this kind of candle, you don't have to worry about the residue of oil and wax dripping on the chandelier when the candle burns, and staining and damaging the various expensive dresses of the gentlemen and ladies underneath.

Orondo, who wore mage robes, was unremarkable, and among the dozens of guests, at least a dozen were wearing Dalaran's mage robes. Lordaeron has a big face, and it is still a happy event like the birth of a prince, and Dalaran is still quite face-saving.

Orondo noticed that even Antonidas was at tonight's ball.

Just as he was secretly looking at Antonidas and talking to a middle-aged male human nobleman, suddenly-

"Mage Sephorosa?"

A surprised voice sounded next to him.
